I think that will be suitable.

Also I've used the Donic Vario Glue. You only need a small amount to have a thin film.

on rubbers again... Is the below rubber worth trying on the waldner's blade i have mentioned earlier? [coz we almost only get this friendship rubber in India.]

Yeah, the first speed glues were bicycle glues. But I think they must've diluted them with something - the glues used for repairing bicycle tires are meant to be strong, I think.. getting the rubber off the blade again might be a problem. Back in those days I always bought ASTI brand speed glue, never tried anything else.

The 729 Cross rubber should be OK. To be honest, I think the differences between most Chinese rubbers are minimal, pretty much all of them will work for most people. I don't believe 729 really makes 20 kinds of rubber - they probably make 4 or 5 and switch topsheets and sponges around. Topsheet molds can be made so that the label area is interchangeable. The bottom mold is the one that forms the pips, those can be paired with any number of top molds (which forms the label). Maybe they only have three or four different ones... :lol:

I'd go the standard Waldner...........its the real deal. Made in Sweden. Depending of price difference, the exclusive would be just as good though probably. I've hit with both, little difference that I could notice. Waldner handle feels a little woody, Exclusive is a bit more of a glossy finish, both are comfortable.

I agree with Cobalt. The exclusive is a little stiffer and harder, whereas the softer and more flexy allplay will combine better with the (firm) Chinese rubbers.

Instinct penhold and n11 even n10 are sold out iT seems.
Only one spot sells iT on eBay...But only in combination of expensive rubbers.

I am thinking of Buying a dhs 4007 at 20$ including bag. Or one of these custom.

Revival!

I’ve used Yinhe N9 and N3 both as training setup paired with mercury II and I found them to be awesome! I like the crispness of the N3 better.

Very controlled, not too fast, not too slow. Allows you to muscle into your strokes and give you confidence to use all of your swing power. When you make a mistake, you feel it and you can adjust accordingly.

I think it’s an awesome set up one can play with up to pretty high levels.

Happy new year!

Wow.. an old thread!

My recommendation for a blade these days is the Sanwei M8.

It also happens to be one of the cheapest blades you can find:

Well, the cheapest I've come across is

Another blade that's as cheap or expensive (whatever way you look @ it) as the M8 is

Iskandar,

What’s the difference between those two blades? I notice a slightly different handle design and one states for beginners (junior model).

It may be a terrible combination but I built a racquet in 2016. (Yinhe N9 w Hurricane 3 & Skyline 3 rubber). I live in a small state in the US and there’s NO completion TT, it’s all basement play. The locals started playing again so I’m getting back into it and relearning the equipment. I’m think it’s time for a change.

Thanks in advance.

There isn't any difference between the old "red label" M8 and the new "Junior" M8. The handle blocks are of a different color (actually, there have been 2-3 changes over the last few years) and they've got different printing on the blade. There are individual differences between blades (mainly different weights) but that's something else altogether. I've never tried the "Black Wood" XVT so I can't comment. It does seem to be quite a bit heavier though.
